Hi,

First, I send my thanks to Brickey for this idea. I have a friend, a fellow member of our church who is in his 70's and had restricted vision due to cataracts. He is a vet and the folks managing his case would not allow surgery because "it wasn't that bad yet" but it was sufficiently bad that he could only drive in daylight hours.

Due to your suggestion, I bought a bottle of flax seed oil and took it to him at his home a couple of years ago; asking him to put a drop in each eye every day. He said that he had to do the treatment just prior to retiring in the evening because the flax seed oil caused his vision to become a bit blurry for a little while; but when he awoke his vision was as clear as before putting the flax seed oil into his eyes. Within three months there was noticeable improvement. Two years later, his cataracts (if there are any), are no longer a problem.

Speaking of looking for solutions to various health issues (someone mentioned this earlier), dear ones, I have found that searching the SilverList archives always presents good ideas. Thank you Mike, and the folks who make them available!!

Best regards,
  :) Mar

  Hiya Brickey,

It's so amazing to me; while searching via search engines for alternative methods of treating cataracts (specifically in dogs) I got absolutely nothing. When I began taking my plight to various alternative lists, I found there are treatments abound! And most are very simplistic. If only there were enough hours in a day to create a website covering these methods, with scientific and anecdotal evidence, for the others that are searching...

My precious girl lost her other eye to glaucoma. I searched, begged and pleaded for an alternative option, but general consensus was that there isn't one, and we settled on eneucleation to eliminate the pain, and the need for drugs. Between her diagnosis of glaucoma, and the removal of the eye, the cataract in her *good* eye rendered her blind. She was pronounced a good candidate for cataract surgery (at age 12!), but at $1000 it simply isn't a possibility.

I so appreciate hearing these testimonies. They give me hope, and good ideas.

  Thanks guys!

My dog was also one eyed, cataract covered her pupil. I bought regular linseed oil a gallon at Home Base (a hardware store) in their paint section and filled a 1 ounce bottle with an eye dropper. Every day she got one drop in her eye for at least two months. Her eyelids became crusty and I just stopped treating her. I was astonished to see the cataract shrank to a pin point and after several more weeks totally was gone. After seeing this I also used linseed oil (Flaxseed oil) in my eyes. DR said I had a bunch of small cataracts growing in both eyes. I had a yearly check up about 5 weeks later and DR said NO CATARACTS. Since then about 5 years ago the cataracts are coming back in my eyes, I now make my own CS so I use CS + 10% DMSO in my eye wash cup, cataracts are still there but not growing.

When I treated my dog I did not even refrigerate the linseed oil. I found that it goes rancid later so when I treated myself I kept the bottle refrigerated. I guess that our garage was cold enough when I treated my dog to act like a refrigerator.
